OMG! Aamir Khan’s Son Junaid Will Make His Acting Debut In Just 10 Days!
Aamir Khan’s little boy, Junaid Khan, has grown up and is all ready for his foray into the world of acting...
In an industry, where every star kid’s Bollywood debut is
glorified to no extent, wouldn’t you be surprised if we tell you that Aamir
Khan’s son, Junaid will face an audience and showcase his acting skills in just
10 days?
Well yes, Junaid Khan will make his acting debut,, not
with a film but a play. He will be seen in theatre director Quasar Thakore
Padamsee’s play.

Thakore Padamsee recalls how he received a call from a
teenager keen on auditioning for Mother Courage and Her Children, the latter's
adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's biting satire on the absurdity of war.
While talking to Mumbai Mirror, director Padamsee said,
"It was an open casting call and someone had given him my number. When he
came, I thought he was just another kid from HR College. He said he had been to
drama school and seemed to understand the play and had lovely ideas. You want
people to come in excited and rehearse for 8 to 10 hours. And Junaid was happy
to come in early or stay late, even if it was not for his own part.”

After Junaid completed his graduation from HR College, he
moved to Los Angeles to pursue a course at the American Academy of Dramatic
Arts and on his return, assisted Rajkumar Hirani for PK. Junaid will play
various characters, most prominently, that of Mother Courage's son called
Swameed, a man who has many virtues but is limited by his naivete.
Padamsee says, "He is a very giving actor, so his
co-actors gain a lot from him. He cares a lot about the whole production and
not just his own part, and is constantly contributing and working on all
aspects."
